Taking Care of You

Curriculum/program overview: Taking Care of You is
based on concepts and strategies from the evidenced-based group program
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) founded by Jon Kabat-Zinn of
University of Massachusetts School of Medicine, as well as
research-based concepts and strategies from the field of positive
psychology. The Taking Care of You program was developed to help
participants reduce stress levels and improve lifestyle behaviors. Over
the eight program sessions, participants learn about concepts and
practical strategies they can incorporate into their everyday lives to
better deal with life’s challenges/stress through discussions,
mini-lectures and experiential opportunities. Program participants are
provided opportunities to practice strategies during the program
sessions and are encouraged to use program strategies outside of class.
